How to watch Wrexham games live online in the USA

Wrexham AFC has enjoyed a remarkable rise up the English footballing pyramid. The 2020 purchase of the club by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, coupled with the award-winning docuseries Welcome to Wrexham, has attracted increasing interest in the football club and in watching its games live online. The trouble is that if you travel to the US, your usual streaming options are region-locked. You’ll need a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to watch online.

A VPN works by routing your internet connection through a secure, encrypted tunnel to a server in your chosen location. It hides your data and IP address, allowing you to spoof your location and get around geographic restrictions. This includes the geo-blocking surrounding Wrexham AFC games (and most sporting events). You can use a VPN to watch Wrexham games live online in the US or anywhere.

Remember that we only recommend official sources for watching Wrexham games live online. Unlicensed streams tend to be low resolution and plagued with lag and buffering issues. They run the risk of being taken offline altogether for violating copyright. You won’t have to contend with any of this with official streaming sources, all of which can be accessed with the help of a quality VPN service.

How to watch Wrexham games in the USA with a VPN

We’ll cover your main streaming options for watching Wrexham games in the USA further below, but first, here’s a straightforward guide on how to get streaming.

Here’s how to watch Wrexham games live online from the US:

1. First, sign up with a reputable VPN provider. We recommend NordVPN, but Surfshark and IPVanish are excellent alternatives for live sports streaming.
2. Download the VPN app on the device you want to stream Wrexham games. With the above-recommended VPNs, you can use your VPN on multiple devices.
3. Open the VPN app (you’ll probably be prompted to log in first) and connect to a server in the UK for a UK IP address if you’re trying to watch via Sky Go or Now TV.
4. Go to the streaming service that’s showing the Wrexham game. You can start streaming as long as you’re connected to a VPN server in the appropriate location.
5. Having trouble? Clearing your cookies may resolve any problems you’re having. Another potential fix is switching servers to change your IP address. If none of this works, get in touch with your VPN’s support team, which may be able to help you troubleshoot the issue.

Where can I watch Wrexham games in the USA?

First off, it’s worth mentioning that the US has a couple of streaming options. The first is iFollow, the official streaming service for the English Football League. With it, you can watch every Wrexham game. This season, the early bird Season Pass was priced at £140 (roughly $177), and the full-price version cost £180 ($228). Monthly (£25), single match passes (£10), and audio passes are also available.

The other option is Paramount+, which is showing most of Wrexham’s 2024-25 league season games with subscriptions starting from USD $7.99 a month. Paramount+ is only viable if you’re in the US for an extended period and have a valid US payment method.

If you’re visiting the USA from the UK, you can still watch it via Sky Sports with the help of a VPN. Existing Sky Sports customers can sign in and stream via Sky Go. Alternatively, Now doesn’t require signing up for a long-term contract. A Sports plan costs £29.99 a month. There’s also a day membership that costs £14.99.

Watching Wrexham games in the US via iFollow doesn’t require a VPN. Indeed, EFL matches are available to stream on iFollow in most countries outside the UK. The same can’t be said for Paramount+, which only has the right to show EFL games in the US. So, if you did travel outside the US, you’d need a VPN to continue streaming.

A VPN is necessary from the US if you’re only visiting on vacation and want to continue watching Wrexham games via the Sky Go app or Now. This requires connecting to a VPN server in the UK for a UK IP address to bypass the geographic restrictions. NordVPN is your best bet for this. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee to try it out risk-free.

Can I use a free VPN to watch Wrexham games in the USA?

Free VPNs won’t work with the streaming options covered in this post. Unfortunately, free VPNs just don’t offer many server locations, and the limited number of IP addresses are quickly identified and blacklisted. They fail to work with the streaming services in question. On top of this, free VPNs are known to throttle bandwidth, resulting in performance problems such as lag and buffering.

There’s some risk in using a free VPN, too. Poor encryption standards and an absence of leak protection may leave your data exposed and vulnerable to attackers. If you encounter any issues, it’s not like you’ll benefit from customer support to help you either. Free VPNs may even keep logs, some of which may contain identifying data, which are then sold to third parties, compromising your privacy.
